nautilus does not stop after X closed
by Jim Cornette
Since I just upgraded and a lot of changes have effected the state of
GNOME, when logging in. after it was closed down. I logged out of X
(runlevel 3) and when I logged back into GNOME, I had no desktop ICONs
(completely black and no launchers). Logging out of GNOME was also very
slow. (a minute or so)
I suspected the updates, but none of them seemed related to X performance.
fedora-release-1.90-9
indexhtml-1.90-2
mod_python-3.0.4-0.1
pam-0.77-30
pam-devel-0.77-30
Nautilus was running twice without X being loaded. After 'killall
nautilus' was run, logging into GNOME allowed all ICONS, background, etc
to be normal.
I don't usually log out of GNOME and back in, so I do not know how long
this behavior has been there.
Also, when does discussion about beta issues resume on the beta list?
Are we in test1 yet?
Jim
PS - I figured out the noarch problem on my end for yum and up2date. I
was using the headers outside of i386, (just to the development
directory) which worked, except for nodeps. Then it would try to pull
noarch.rpms from ppc64, s390, etc. (These weren't carried by the mirror
I was using, as Seth referred to. What is the purpose of the headers
directory within the development directory?

yelp not on menu ... .xmms directory not created
by Jim Cornette
When searching the menus for help, I decided to try and run yelp at the
command prompt. I got this output in the terminal. Yelp came up and is
usable.
yelp
Use of deprecated SAXv1 function endElement
/usr/share/omf/gnome-panel/window-list-es.omf:12: parser error : Input

I also tried out xmms without a directory and one was not created yet.
The error message disappeared from displaying when GNOME is started.
(This is good!)
When clicking on the menu, it took a little while to move up. (but it
works, Great!)
This looks like a good start. I hope the CD installations are working
and the test1 release gets out soon.
I'll use yelp to figure out the rest of my questions. I noticed that it
was missing when someone asked about the show-orphans option for rpm.
Done,

Problems compiling nss_pgsql on FC1
by Raphael Vallazza
Hi,
i'm trying to compile libnss-pgsql 1.0 on Fedora Core 1
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/sysauth-pgsql) but i always get the
following error:
<snip>
Making all in src
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/libnss-pgsql-1.0.0/src'
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.

file or directory
make[1]: *** [interface.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/libnss-pgsql-1.0.0/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
</snip>
Is this a problem of the FC1 glibc package or maybe a problem with
NPTL? I've tried to copy linuxthreads/internals.h from the glibc
source, but it caused even more problems :)
Thanks for your help!
Ciao,
Raphael

Dell laptop C640 and suspend
by Florian La Roche
My Dell C640 has problems after suspend. I currently run the newest
upstream driver copied into a Fedora Core 1 install and that works
without any problems. Does anyone know what change has to be applied
ontop of the RH src.rpm to fix this?
greetings,

/etc/fedora-release still shows "Yarrow Test 1"
by Mark Mielke
$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora Core release 1.90 (Yarrow Test 1)
Perhaps it should read "Cambridge Test 1"?
Cheers,
mark

APT-enabled *development* repository
by Damiano Albani
Hello,
I can't find any APT repository which provides
development/RawHide branch for Fedora.
I know there's Yum, but, up to me, it's unusable (long
downloads for the bunch of tiny headers, triggered every
time yum is used, etc).
So, do you know one ?
Thanks,
Damiano

mplayer vs. xine
by Brian C. Huffman
I'd like to have a show of hands of who's for xine and who's for
mplayer. Which one is the better choice for a complete multimedia
solution? I've used both and have to say that I've had problems with
both.
With xine I've been able to play most all formats with the exception of
Windows media (although I know the codecs are out there). I've gotten
the gxine frontend which includes a plugin for mozilla. Unfortunately
I've had many many crashes of mozilla / xine when using the plugin.
With mplayer (which I've just recently installed), I've had better
stability (although it has crashed on inline movies), but I don't know
the extent of the formats that it can play. Also I haven't seen a
frontend to mplayer so far....I assume that one does exist.
Thoughts? Experiences?
Thanks in advance!

First I should say I'm not too optimistic about it, because
applications dying randomly usually point to a bad SODIMM. So, in the
end, it's not likely a console can help a lot. Both 2.4 and 2.6
crashing tells us something too.
That said, try to set up Ingo's netconsole. At least you should be
able to see the oops when LEDs flash. I do not remember if netconsole
is enabled in Fedora. It might need some rebuilding, but this is what
I would do. Start here:
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/netdev/archive/2001-09/msg00107.html
Do not go for USB serial console, it's pretty much useless for
cases like this.
Good luck,
